I'm in software engineering. One would think that English would be a useless class for my major, yet at work I still have to write a lot of documents. Either preparing new features, explaining existing, writing instructions for others etc

BTW: with using AI to write essays, you generally have subject that is known and that many people write something similar, all of that was used to train it.

With technical writing you are generally describe something that is brand new and very unique so you won't be able to make AI write it for you.

When I come across a solid dev who is also a solid writer it's like they have super powers. Being about to write effectively is so important.
